Kidney function, albuminuria and life expectancy
BACKGROUND Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate is associated with reduced life expectancy. Whether this association is modified by the presence or absence of albuminuria, another cardinal finding of chronic kidney disease, is unknown. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to estimate the life expectancy of middle-aged men and women with varying levels of eGFR and concomitant albuminuria. DESIG...
متن کاملMonitoring Kidney Function and Albuminuria in Patients With Diabetes
I t is beyond doubt that patients with diabetes are at high risk of developing renal and cardiovascular disease. Both outcomes have significant clinical implications and are associated with high additional costs. Several traditional (blood pressure, HbA1c, cholesterol) and novel cardiovascular biomarkers (C-reactive protein, pro-brain natriuretic peptide) are at hand to identify those individua...
متن کاملGeneralizability of genetic findings related to kidney function and albuminuria.
Nephrology has benefitted from several recent molecular genetics breakthroughs involving susceptibility to FSGS and focal global glomerulosclerosis, encompassing both rare and common gene variants (1–6). To date, the search for diabetic nephropathy genes has been somewhat less rewarding, although genes with modest effects have been elucidated for diabetic and nondiabetic CKD (7–11). As a result...
متن کاملSurvival as a function of life expectancy
It is well known that life expectancy can be expressed as an integral of the survival curve. The reverse that the survival function can be expressed as an integral of life expectancy is also true. 1. Relationship Let e(a) denote remaining life expectancy at age a and let `(a) denote the proportion surviving to age a (the survival function). Then (1) l(a) = e(0) e(a) exp ( − ∫ a
متن کاملRacial differences in albuminuria, kidney function, and risk of stroke.
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to examine the joint associations of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin excretion with incident stroke in a large national cohort study. METHODS Associations of urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) and eGFR with incident stroke were examined in 25,310 participants of the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences ...
